Re: can not associate to AP when using macchanger

Thanks for all the proposed advises ... but I'm still unable to associate to the AP.

The network card is an Intel WiFI Link 5100 (sony vaio laptop), and the AP does not involve any security settings (open network, no WEP/WPA, no MAC filtering).
Using this configuration, I can not associate to the AP if I change the client MAC address, neither via macchanger nor ifconfig. An interesting point is that I can associate to the AP if I "change" the client MAC address to the same address, either via macchanger -m <my MAC> or ifconfig hw ether <my MAC>.

Bellow are a few points I also think noticeable:
+ the interface wlan0/mon0 is usable in monitoring mode with aircrack-ng
+ the behavior is exactly the same as using a 64-bits Ubuntu 9.10 distribution with a 2.6.31-18 kernel
